SPECIFICATION forming part of Lettersvatent No. 737,338, dated August25, 1903. Application filed February 5, 190B. Serial No. 142,017. (Nomodel.)

and EDWARD R. DIsBEO, citizens ofthe United States of America, andresidents of Cleveland,

Cuyahoga county, and State 'of Ohio, havel invented certain new anduseful Improve'-` ments in Repeating Detonaro'rs", of which the`following is a specification.

This invention relates to detonators, and

has for its Object to provide a rapid repeatingA device; and theinvention consists in the new construction and combination of elementscomprising the device whereby repeated detonations are automaticallyproduced, sub-l stantially as hereinafter described, and point-l plateG2.

ed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the'invention, Figure lis a side elevation, Fig; 2 is a front elevation, and Fig. 3 is' avertical section, of the device.V Figs. 4, 5, and^6 are respectivelydetails of theseveral principal parts comprising the invention.

This device is intended to be attached to the lower end of a walkingstick or cane. A

Arepresents a rOu'nd-chambered block, having a hollow stem A" connectedwith the said chamber and has a slot'a in one side. In the upper part ofthe block is 'provided a curved recess B, one end of which is connectedwith a vertical passage B', leading into the aforesaid chamber'V in theblock A.

C is a cylinder or sleeve iitted to rotate on the stem A'. which worksin conjunction with the aforesaid slot a inthe stemA'. Its lower end isalso provided with a disk plate C2, in one side of which ismade anopening C3, ,which lies over the curved recess Bin block A. lc c aredepending lips at the ends of said opening C3, the purpose of which willhereinafter ap-V pear. D is amagazine-case which fits over the cylinderC. Itis also 'provided with a slot D', which is located in line with theslot ain the stem A'. p

D2 is a vertical chamber at one side of the case D, which constitutesthe: magazine for holding cartridges, and itmay be of suitable length tohold a considerable number.

d is a plate on the lower endof the case D, which lies'overthe OpeningC3 in the diskl C2. Said disk C2 plays between the bottom of themagazine-case D and the top of the block A.

E is a plunger which plays in the hollow Ithas a spiral slot C' in itsside, c

.of a walking-cane. Inthe side of the plunger 4is provided a pin e,which projects through the 'slots a, C', and D', and as the plunger ismoved up and down in thestraight slots a and D' the pin e, moving in thespiral slot C in the cylinder C, causes it to rotate. f'

.The operations oi this device are as follows: vThe magazine beingfilled with cartridges, the lowest one drops through'the opening O3 intothe recess B,and as the plunger is drawn up the cylinder C is rotated.This carriesy the cartridge around in said v`recess B, because thecartridge is in between the lips c c on the disk When the cartridgereaches the -vertical passage B', it drops into the chamber in the blockA and lies on the bottom, and the 'plunger as it descends 4strikes andexplodes the cartridge. When the plunger is raised again, the cylinderis rotated back again, and another cartridge will be deposited in theagain repeated. The Y'Opening F in the side of the block A and at thebottom of the chamber is for the discharge of the spent cartridge andtheemission of smoke.

Having described our invention, what we claim isconsisting of achamberedblock A, a slotted B'in'the top of 'the"block," and yaverticalpassage B' connecting the recess with the chamber in the block; a sleeveC on the stem A', a spiral slot C' in the sleeve, a disk plate C2 J OSEPH CJCALOUN.
